As the saying goes, “practice makes perfect,” and Fort Stewart soldiers have been working to meet that standard for months, culminating in an exercise known as Marne Focus. Soldiers lived in tents and on the ground during the exercise, learning how to take care of themselves and their weapons in a field setting.The exercise not only was to certify the command and control capabilities of the division, but it also was the last training event for 2nd Brigade Combat Team before its Joint Readiness Training Center rotation at Fort Polk, Louisiana, in the next few months. Soldiers trained in the field at the brigade and battalion levels in recent months.
